A major development emerged in the standoff between the United States and Iran. According to the reporting, US President Donald Trump announced that he has agreed to cancel a planned attack on Iran, on the condition that a deal can be reached quickly. The statement marked a shift after days of mutual threats and warnings surrounding the conflict.
The announcement was made directly by the president online. According to the reporting, Trump posted the message on his Truth Social platform, and it was read out as breaking news by the outlets covering it. The post laid out his decision to hold back the attack while pushing for a rapid agreement.
In the post, Trump tied the move to the wider goal of ending the nuclear standoff. According to the reporting, he said that, based on a request and citing an end to Iran's nuclear threat, he had agreed, for the future benefit of the world and the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a deal.
Trump also indicated that the United States would not act alone in this step. According to the reporting, he said that the country of Israel joins him in this commitment. The inclusion of Israel signaled that the decision to hold off was being presented as a shared position rather than a solely American one.
The president pressed for the agreement to be completed without delay. According to the reporting, Trump urged, get to work, everybody, and get it done, and it was reported that he wants the deal done rapidly. The wording underscored that the pause on the attack was being framed as conditional on quick progress toward a deal.
The reporting placed the statement within a broader diplomatic effort in the region. According to the reporting, Trump claimed that Middle Eastern allies had reached the parameters of a deal to end the Iran war. This framing suggested that talks involving countries in the region had advanced toward a possible framework.
The immediate practical effect described was a hold on further military action. According to the reporting, the United States would hold off on new strikes on Iran if a deal can be done. The condition left the situation tied to whether the agreement Trump described can be finalized in the way he set out.
